- *I* will do nothing. I would never EVER do anything to force you to
- do anything against your will, Mr. Chaney. *I* wouldn't even attempt
- to use coercion. Not *me*, Mr. Chaney. I prefer non-violence.
-
- You don't have anything to fear from *me*, Mr. Chaney. After all, I
- may know a whole lot of perfectly legal, non-violent ways to make your
- life a living hell, but *I* wouldn't do anything that could even be
- construed as an indication that I was even thinking about backing up
- the implicit threat in the command that you `cut it with the violence
- metaphor.'
-
- I repeat: You have nothing to fear from *me*, Mr. Chaney. I won't
- harm you. Not at all. Go on with your vile rhetoric of hate and
- psychotic delusions couched in cheap war-toy imagery -- don't
- entertain the idea that someone, somewhere, might take an interest in
- you having more pressing things than Usenet to occupy your time --
- someone with fewer scruples and a violent nature to match yours.
- Someone with less self-restraint than me, who might, say, drive out to
- Sacto and take an almost sexual pleasure in torturing your psyche
- until what remains of your functionality is nothing more than a whispy
- memory overshadowed by the day-to-day pressure to keep the lid shut.
-
- *I* certainly wouldn't want you to feel like I was threatening you.
-
- Far from it.
-
- (This is *not* a veiled threat, Mr. Chaney. I am not being sarcastic,
- sardonic or coy, except to suggest to you that the man behind the
- curtain can be located and identified, and that hate breeds hate and
- violence begets violence. Use what grey matter you have, man.)
